Aries is The Emperor whose archetype brings themes of decision, leadership, boundaries and the will to build. Aquarius is The Star and the archetype embodies hope, guidance, healing and the future calling us forward. And right now, the ruler of Aries, Mars, is in Aquarius, conjunct Pluto and forming a supportive sextile to Neptune at 0° Aries.

At its simplest, power is the capacity to affect outcomes. It’s the ability to set terms, shape reality, protect boundaries, make decisions, and influence what happens next. The archetypal question isn’t do you have power, it is how are you using it and what is it doing to you?

Neptune moving into Aries shifts the collective mood from dreaming to doing. With Mars conjunct Pluto in Aquarius, vision meets strategy, networks, and momentum. Fire and air bring rapid innovation and movement, whilst Saturn’s approach adds the maturity test of clean motives, clear boundaries and foundations that can sustain what you are building.

Mercury conjunct an exalted Mars in Capricorn sharpens the mind and strengthens the will, and as both apply to the Capricorn Sun, decisions want to become official. With Saturn (ruler of Capricorn) in Pisces applying Neptune, this is a moment to give the dream a vessel: boundaries, timelines, and real structure. Tarot mirrors the message through The Devil, The Sun, and the 4 of Pentacles

Cancer in Ancient Astrology is known as the Gateway of Soul and denotes the passing of the soul into the mothers womb, into material. Capricorn sitting opposite, where dark is dominant and light is increasing, is known as the Gateway of the Gods where the Soul ascends and returns back to Source, you can think of the womb as the way in to the material and tomb as the way out!

No creation is without its’ destruction, no joy is without frustration and no accomplishment is without effort. Just as the Moon appears from the darkness she returns to the darkness.
